Branded Content – The Final FrontierThe internet is in�nitely expanding to o�er new ways for quality products to reach consumers. Print ads and TV spots have less of a hold on the market as audiences are increasingly bombarded by content on the web. In a more market-savvy world, consumers are well aware of product placement and perhaps even take a somewhat cynical approach to subliminal messaging.

Instead of keeping with more traditional means of promoting your brand, now is the perfect time to strike a new path with branded content. New media is still in its infancy and �guring out its place in the world, which o�ers the opportunity for lower overhead with potentially exponential bene�ts. Branded content is the chance to stamp your brand’s name and sensibility all over a creative endeavor with mass appeal.

Zombies Versus VampiresThe key to a successful webseries is to target a niche market. In addition to winning several awards, perennially successful lesbian high school drama Anyone But Me has reached hundreds of thousands of viewers per episode. Geeky gamer webseries The Guild has been seen by over 71 million viewers on YouTube alone.

Zompire Vixens from Pluto! takes the eternally popular horror fodder of zombies and vampires, mixes in Ed Wood camp and ‘60s Technicolor Sci Fi, shakes gently, and serves this comic cocktail over ice. The series will create an alternate universe akin to a Tim Burton or Robert Rodriguez creation. This is a savory mix for the internet where more and more projects that play it safe are thrown over in favor of the most unique and original content available.

Liquor Brands Meet Zompire VixensThe team for Zompire Vixens from Pluto! are building their careers and seeking a label with similar aspirations. Writer/Director/Producer Jenna Payne has an award-winning grindhouse comedy called Feline Frenzy and is eager to bring her genre mash ups to a larger audience. Tina Cesa Ward, Executive Producer/Writer/Director of Anyone But Me, is excited to take on the role of Consulting Producer for the project.

Aside from awards and vision, we have a plan for building a large audience online. Viral videos often seem to be the result of magic and timing, but there are strategies to implement when seeking attention on the web. First, we have connections with name talent who we feel con�dent we can bring on board in cameos, provided that their day rates and scheduling demands are met. These names also come with a horde of their own fans who are eager to check out their next project.

We also plan on creating video extras to supplement the episodes and reach new viewers. These supplements will get the audience even more excited and more likely to pass on the series to their friends. We will be creating 60 second how to videos, like How to Build Pluto and How to Dress Like a Zompire, by combining time lapse behind-the-scenes footage with funny commentary by cast and crew. Audience participation is key on the internet, so we want to include them in the movie magic. This goes beyond sharing our secrets to building message boards where their voices and opinions can be heard and responded to by the creators.

Most importantly, our sponsor brand is an integral part of every episode. The shows are written to encourage the media savvy of the audience. The series creates a brand platform that melds the old showcases of the ‘50s and ‘60s with the prod-uct placement awareness and subtle irony of the Millenials. The episodes have written in a special cocktail created for the episode with the brand. Each episode will boldly stop the plot to plug the brand as part of the joke, and the recipe will be shared online with recipes and tasting notes, which not only furthers the liquor brand but also incorporates back into the social media elements of the marketing campaign. Most of all, the over-the-top approach to incorporating the brand will endear consumers to the brand for both its humor and its honesty.

Contact Jenna Payne [email protected] www.jennapayne.com

The PitchFor a fraction of the cost of traditional television spots, the team at Zompire Vixens from Pluto! will deliver 12 �ve minute episodes in addition to several behind the scenes and how to videos to ramp up interest in the show. The series will run with one episode a week for a period of three months along with companion special features.

For full sponsorship of the series, each episode will feature a slate with Your Brand presents before the titles in addition to each episode’s featured beverage. The website will also feature a home page, top banner for the brand that will connect directly to the brand’s website. Additionally, webseries are quite successful with merchandizing. Zompire Vixens from Pluto! plans on o�ering vintage-style posters, t-shirts, lunchboxes, DVDs, and other items. The series would love to include our sponsor’s logo on all merchandise sold.

We will be hiring a dedicated and proven social media professional to ensure that the show achieves the success and exposure required to properly deliver on a branded content campaign. Building a campaign that reaches viral proportions for a brand and a webseries does not happen overnight and is almost never the result of pure chance. We want to be proactive in promoting the show and reaching the broadest audience possible by bringing on a new media marketer with a stunning track record. This professional will be thinking outside of the box and creating multiple fan participation events, both online and o�, to bring the largest audience share to your brand and the series.

The cast and crew are more than eager to make themselves available for additional promotion, like guesting on podcasts, blogs, and shilling on various social media sites. Writer/Director/Producer Jenna Payne particularly has some zany ideas for marketing, ranging from Rocky Horror-style audience participation screenings to possible entry in San Diego’s Mecca of Geekdom: Comic-Con.

The aim is to place the show on Blip or My Damn Channel, both of which target tens of millions of young consumers, along with YouTube, and embed the series on its own website. Additional potential distribution platforms include posts on Wired, Videogum, and other websites posting the quirkiest in online content. The social media campaign will include Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest and will reach out to bloggers and podcasters. Zompire Vixens from Pluto! has already been written up by a few blogs and featured on the Terror Troop podcast.

The show’s appeal crosses demographics, but Zompire Vixens from Pluto! already heavily attracts the 25-34 male demo-graphic on YouTube. Our viewers are cinema savvy, middle income, and trendy.

The CostThe series is budgeted modestly for the scope of production and amount of marketing planned to make the show a success. Intergalactic Sponsorship at $250,000 will cover the bulk of production for Zompire Vixens from Pluto! and the promotions to broadcast the show into the galaxy. A line budget is available upon request.

The cost is incredibly low, especially considering the overhead in buying commercial time for television, radio, and even the web. The entire series will be available online for free until the Zompires �gure out how to destroy the world wide web. We’re not even sure if the Zompires are working on that yet.

Other than providing product and creating social media additions, like cocktail recipes, the brand will not need to be responsible for the success of the show, but the team for Zompire Vixens from Pluto! is happy to hear and incorporate all concerns, questions, and suggestions.

Additional SponsorshipsZompire Vixens from Pluto! welcomes other non-competitive brands to approach us for additional product placement, website advertising, and commercial spots. The show can accomodate a great variety of products and services, and we would love to explore these options. Please contact Zompire Vixens from Pluto! to �nd out how best to attach your brand to what promises to be one of the biggest webseries of 2012.

Fighting Bloodsucking Mutants from Outer Space Takes Team Work...Meet the Gang.

Award-winning �lmmaker Jenna Payne is building up momentum for an indie �lm coup with a line of projects as diverse as they are similar. Fun �lms-to-be build on healthy doses of camp, vamp, and current events to create alternate universes that are surprisingly familiar. Hailing from southern suburbia, Jenna saved up her summer lemonade stand money to move to New York City in the fall of 2003. Jenna waited tables, typed up prose, and spun records in some of the city’s darker dens before realizing that she knew no one in publishing and had seen more �lms than eaten hot meals!

Quickly diving into writing, directing, and producing, Jenna shot her �rst short �lm Feline Frenzy in February 2010. This dark comedy/grindhouse thriller toured �lm festivals and won a Skullie Award at the 2010 Royal Flush Festival. Jenna also shot a sizzle reel in New York for Grauman’s Last Hero, a comedy/noir thriller about the character impersonators in front of Mann’s Chinese Theatre, to demonstrate the potential of this feature.

Jenna has worked on many �lm sets in roles ranging from Wardrobe to Producer and is developing a feature-length slasher set against the backdrop of the collapse of the American auto industry. Jenna recently wrapped as producer on the lush and visual �lm The Art of Dreaming about a young woman’s battle against her subconscious. Jenna Payne is now chief headhunter for the Technicolor exploitation webseries for branded content called Zompire Vixens from Pluto! All of her projects can be seen online at www.jennapayne.com

Zompire Vixens from Pluto! aims to �ll a niche spot in the hearts of those left a little icy by Twilight but jonesing for the next Evil Dead mixed with Shaun of the Dead and a heavy dose of early Star Trek mashed up with Forbidden Planet. The series is irreverently campy, deliciously funny, and bordering on absurd.

Foxy zombie/vampire hybrids attack Brooklyn in retaliation for the declassi�ca-tion of Pluto as a planet, which renders them ineligible for intergalactic aid. Three denizens of Pluto are sent on a mission to Brooklyn to request that Dr. Von Tron reverse his decision to declassify Pluto. These Zompires are ravenous for real human brainstems, though, and easily sidetracked from their assignment by the multitude of easy prey. They take a bored barkeep named Oscar hostage at their �rst massacre and move on, half in search of the doctor and half seeking their next meal.

Dr. Von Tron’s star pupil, Olivia, intercepts a distress call from an Intergalactic Consortium base sounding the alarm for a Zompire attack. Olivia, astronomically brilliant but romantically clueless, quickly alerts her lovelorn neighbor Chase and the ragtag group of young Brook-lynites watching a sci � marathon at her apartment to the danger posed by these extraterrestrial vixens. Our heroes gear up and prepare

to do battle with the hottest, baddest, silliest villains ever seen.

The spark for Zompire Vixens from Pluto! comes from a desire to do a playful send up of classic horror and sci � B-pictures with a lot of laughs. The crew will be shooting in widescreen format as a nod to the old Cinema-Scope productions. Art and special e�ects will be comprised of some miniature work to create a spaceship and the surface of Pluto. One major green screen e�ect will be the Zompires landing on the Brooklyn Bridge, but the goal with this shot is more to capture the feel of an old school process shot than to do slick CGI work. A teaser is on the series’ YouTube channel demonstrating this e�ect. Sets and props will often enough stick to art school stand bys, like foam core and Christmas lights. The art depart-ment hopes to follow more closely in the footsteps of paper mache planets on Star Trek than computerized gala productions like Battlestar Galactica.

festival awards.

Tina is the Executive Producer/Writer/Director of the most watched, most awarded scripted drama on the web, Anyone But Me, for which Tina won the �rst ever Writers Guild Award for Original New Media.
